Me and my bro went riding this weekend. Headed up north to the White Mtns. of New Hampshire. We were hoping to catch up with Uncle Bob and his pal Ed and see a caboose Ed bought last year. Didn't see either cuz they were at Americade and were running late. We did see the caboose and a couple of guys that I wish I got snaps of at the caboose. Hon-dog had a (I don't even know what it was) big old dresser with a horse saddle on it and a pair of bull's horns on the front. His pal had a big Honda Gold Wing with a side car attached to vintage 1984. Nice guys. They were looking for Uncle Bob too. It was great to finally put some mileage on the bike! In two weeks we'll do it all over again for Louden and the week after we'll see the Nascar races. Ya-hoo for riding season.

mike you are right. i found a red spring somewhere in the middle. but there was grease and dust enough for making it titanium

DeathWish01 · 06-07-2009, 9:28 PM

docsevicz · 06-07-2009, 9:40 PM

I'm going up to Laconia this weekend. Staying in Lincoln about 50 miles north. The weather is questionable but since I can't cancel my reservation I've got to go. It will be interesting to say the least.

I had a good time last weekend too. Went down to Switzerland to see this girl. On the way down there was some dude in an overpriced Mercedes behind me. He kept tailgating and flashing his brights at me. Everytime he tried to go around the inside, I gently rolled on the power

and he quickly decided it was better to get back behind me than slam into the truck in front of him at 130 mph haha.

Eventually we hit traffic and I disappeared between the cars (see "Filtering thread")... hahah that was an epic bit of riding.

This week I'm taking some classes over in Karlsruhe, already looking forward to riding there and back every day.. it's a neat stretch of Autobahn, very windy and hilly, on a Bird it's almost like a highspeed roller coaster.

I'm on the South Shore. I went up to Laconia this weekend for bike week. 500 miles and lots of fun. Hondog's got a smile that would light up the Mt. Washington Valley. I saw Hondog's bike parked at church. Gotta pic and will post as soon as I figure out how to do it. BTW, he bought it from Uncle Bob! Figured it out. The great thing about Laconia is the small venue. Since I missed Daytona I appreciated it all the more!

docsevicz · 06-23-2009, 10:03 PM

I added some pics from Bike Week in New Hampshire!
